The driver or the driver's insurance pays for the tow truck and storage, but you're right about the rest of it. That's all taxpayer dollars, and amounts to way more than the fine.
This is why I don't understand how people can think these fines are a "money grab." Even politicians think that way.
If they sat down and did the calculations, how much they pay the officer, how much it costs to provide him with a patrol car, how much it costs for the clerks to process the ticket, how much it costs to pay the judge to hear the case, etc. etc.. It can't be profitable to hand out traffic tickets.
If it were profitable, you'd NEVER see a trooper sitting in the median "taking pictures." They'd ALWAYS have someone pulled over on the side of the road. Around here the cops just sit in the median while everyone whizzes by at 65MPH+ in a 55 zone.
